It’s time for my August Random Read (a fun meme hosted by I’m Loving Books). The idea is to pick one random book out of your Goodreads To-Read list (using Random.org) to read within the month.
As I mention every month, I am in love with this meme! This is such a great way to make sure that I actually read some of those books that have been in my TBR list for eons.
Last month’s random pick was Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead – I just managed to review it yesterday and loved it! (Click on the link to read my review.) Random.org was good to me once again!
And this month’s winner is…
#171 – Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder
Synopsis:
Keep Your Head Down.
Don’t Get Noticed.
Or Else.
I’m Trella. I’m a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I’ve got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own…until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution.
I honestly don’t remember adding this book to my TBR list, but according to Goodreads I added it in December 2012. My how my TBR list has grown since I’ve started blogging. I can’t believe that it was only at 171 books in 2012 and now I’ve got 661 books on the list!! Just goes to show there are LOTS of good books out there.
At any rate, I’m pretty excited about this Random Read – even though I don’t remember adding this book to my list, it seems to be right up my alley! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
I haven't heard of this meme before. So do you choose books that you actually already own, or just books you want to read that you go out and get after being chosen? If they're books you already own, dang! 661 books?! I can't even IMAGINE! I mean, surely most of those are electronic books but still. I would be overwhelmed having to choose a book when there are that many to choose from. This sounds like the perfect meme for you, and I'm glad Random.org is being good to you 😉
My recent post Bookish Thoughts: Damn You Second Book Syndrome!
I love this book!!! And this is such a cool meme!! Hope you have fun reading this book!
Ooh! Glad to hear that you love it – I’m looking forward to reading it!
Inside Out sounds really good…I may have to add it to my TBR. 🙂 I hope you enjoy!
It does sound good. I’m definitely excited about this month’s selection!
That’s a great idea for a meme. I think ill join myself, get that tbr list down a bit! Hope you like the book!
Yes, join us! This is my favorite meme that I participate in!
Lucky pick by Random! I loved this when I read it, I really need to pick up the next book soon. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it 🙂
Yeah, I’m excited to read this one! I think Random.org made a good choice for me! 🙂
This novel sounds really interesting! It’s on my list too so I will be eager for your review to determine if I have to bump it up my list!

I’ll let you know!
This sounds like a really cool meme. I’ll have to try it once I get my fixed-deadline books out of the way.
Yes, I really love this meme – It makes me feel like I’m giving all those poor little TBR’d books a chance!
I love finding books that I don’t remember adding to my TBR list 🙂 It makes it kind of fun! Happy reading!
I’ve read that one and the next one too. Cute books, nothing heavy but nice enough. Good idea for a meme.
